Birmingham Public Schools is excited to announce our new online Returning Student Registration system for the upcoming school year, PowerSchool Registration powered by InfoSnap. The system is a secure and green process, which allows the district to verify all student demographic, emergency and medical information for your child prior to the start of the new school year. The system will also allow you to electronically sign school district policies. This online process replaces the paper student registration forms.

Letters were mailed to all district families Friday, May 11, 2018 containing instructions on how to access the system for your student, including instructions and a secure “snapcode” that links directly to your student’s current information on file. You will create an account, that you will use each year for this process, and submit an electronic form for each student in your family. To make the process easier for families with multiple students, you will have the option to copy all generic family information to all other students in your family. A sample of the Returning Student Letter is available below.

Please complete the Returning Student Registration forms by Friday, June 8, 2018. Your student’s registration will not be complete until the forms have been submitted. If you do not have access to a computer, contact your child’s school and make an appointment to use a school computer to complete the process. This process can also be completed using a smartphone. If you have any further questions, please contact the school office.

Returning Student Registration is for the currently enrolled Birmingham Public Schools students who have received a snapcode letter from the district.
